No, actually they publicly announced that the people holed up there...who are being used as pawns in the Zelensky-Biden low-budget WWIII...will be treated with respect. And the Russians will do that, if only because they know that they’re being watched.
This was a terrible, stupid war. All wars are stupid and generally could be avoided (unless you had somebody like Hitler in charge, and Putin is no Hitler). But wars are not about people, they’re about governments...politicians...and their egos.
Trump said this could have been solved diplomatically, and he was right.

You only end up in a war if you’ve lost deterrence. Under Trump we had deterrence in spades. Trump, with a “mean” Tweet could have prevented the war.
